This
lecture is about much more than fashion. Speaker Dianne Chong is not
only a vice president at The Boeing Company; she is also a blogger,
writer, public speaker,
parent, engineer, and scientist. In a recent guest column in
The Seattle Times, Chong wrote:

"Debating clothes and hair may seem superficial, but it reveals the
critical challenges women face attaining a technology career and — more
importantly — keeping one. I started with undergraduate degrees in
psychology and biology, so I appreciate the relevance,
both professionally and personally. "When a young physicist asks me what to wear to work, she's not asking for fall-fashion trends. She's actually asking: 'How do I fit in at my office, where everyone else is a man?' The fact that women are still asking these questions exposes a deep sense of not belonging." |
